Calling Javascript fuctions from Menu system

Hi-
I'm trying to invoke a javascript function 'launch' in another frame from a menu item as follows-

"XXX","javascript:launch(200,200,'eeeek.htm') target=ZZ",,,2,

The arguments 200,200, get passed OK, but the literal in single-quotes somehow does not get passed properly to my 'LAUNCH' function in frame ZZ.
I've tried escaping the quotes with a backslash; even that doesn't work.

Can this be done at all in the Milonix menu, or would I have to set the literal in the called function in frame ZZ?
Might be simpler to do.
Guess I was just trying to bury as much as I possibly could in the Milonic .js...

And don't tell me not to use frames!

Don't use frames

No seriously - have you tried escaping double quotes. The menu in it's current state has issues with either single or escaped single quotes.

Double escaped quotes usually work fine.

Cheers

Thanx!

the escaped dble-quotes that you suggested seemed to do the trick!
